Forgive me, I'm struggling to see the similarity between a jury and the
RIPE NCC executive board.
A closer comparison would be between a council or government and the
board. I don't believe there are many countries or regions where the
former is taken from a random selection of the population -- many people
don't want to do it, or don't have the skills to do it, even though they
have a vested interest in the outcome. The purpose of an election is
for the members to choose who they wish to represent them in the
governing body.
Cheers,
Rob
